Chapter 12: The Mysterious Old Beggar

Fortunately, when Wu Jun left, in addition to leaving them money, he also left two food stamps, otherwise they would not be able to buy physical goods if they had no money. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info

Just as she finished buying and turned around, a tattered and verbose figure suddenly came from behind, startling Chen Xiaobai, she couldn't help but take two steps back to the side and take a fixed look.

It turned out to be an old beggar, the white dirty hair has become gray, strands are tangled together, the same dirty beard is also messed up, his face is full of wrinkles, and his body still exudes a foul smell, or because of the long-term lack of food and clothing, his body is very thin and dry, if it is not wrapped in a torn cotton jacket on his body, it almost feels like a moving humanoid skeleton.

I don't know why, when Chen Xiaobai saw this old beggar, he didn't cover his nose and withdraw from the distance like others, but stood quietly and watched.

The old beggar came to the window of the canteen, and before he could stand still, he was scolded by a middle-aged woman in the canteen with a big rice spoon pointing her finger at her nose.

"You old coffin! How many times have I told you to stay away from us, and when you come, no one else will eat! You want to come and eat white food again! You stinky and shameless stinky beggar! Socialist moth! Get out of here! Get out!"

The old beggar may have been really hungry, so he walked over tremblingly, knelt down directly for the aunt with both hands, and kept begging her to give her something to eat.

"Please...... Please...... Give me half a steamed bun, I'm hungry......"

The cafeteria aunt picked up a small wooden block on the table that pressed the bag like the old beggar threw it over, and her tone was extremely unkind, "Do you think this is a good hall? This is a socialist canteen, a place where only working people can have food! I'll give it to you, who will give them a bite to eat?! If you don't have money or food stamps, get out of here!"

After saying that, she looked at the old beggar and still didn't leave, still kneeling there and begging her, she glanced at him in disgust, and then turned her head and called the people who came to work in the store, "Lao Zhang, Lao Zhang, where are the people?"

A middle-aged man ran out of the back kitchen in a panic, he touched the sweat on his forehead, "It's coming, what's the matter with Cuihua?

"Quick, throw this old beggar out, don't get in the way of others eating!"

"That old coffin is here again?" the middle-aged man's tone began to become unkind.

"Hurry up, the guests don't dare to come to the door!"

Hearing this, this old Zhang turned around and came out of the window, came out with a fierce face, and had no pity for the old beggar who knelt down to them at the door, and directly grabbed the arm of the old beggar and dragged him outside.

At this time, Chen Xiaobai didn't know where the courage came from, so he didn't even think about it, he directly blocked in front of the old beggar, and shouted, "Wait a minute!"

She admits that she has never been a good person, but she really can't look at it, treating an old man like this, even a gangster like her can't do it, okay!

She did not come out to seek justice, but she was only suddenly full of sympathy and pity for the old beggar.

She doesn't know how her modern gangster father will live after her death, he has a bad temper, he is also impulsive, and he has no financial resources, is it that after her death, he will also become such a beggar in the future?!

Although he was not good to herself, she still had to admit that this moment this old beggar reminded her of her old gangster father.

I still care about him in my heart!

That's why she couldn't help but stand in the way of this old beggar, and really hoped that if one day, when her father in her previous life encountered the same thing, someone would be able to help him.

That old Zhang saw that it was a young girl who stood up, still holding the steamed buns in the canteen, knowing that it was a guest, he was not good to do it again, but he was a little unhappy and said, "Little girl, if you can't get used to it, take pity on him and give him a steamed bun, our canteen is not personal property, it is all public, and the food here is also public, you can give it once, twice, but you can't give it every time!"

In fact, the people in this canteen are right, it looks like they have already given alms, but the old beggars often come, this canteen is also public, no one has the right to always give him food for nothing, these foods are also public, and there is nothing wrong with people not giving it.

It's just that, looking at this old man trembling in the cold wind, she suddenly felt a little sour in her heart, if she can live, who wants to come over and ask for this mouthful of food?

So she didn't accuse the people in the cafeteria of acting like this, but she just felt that their actions were too rude, "Uncle, you're right, but you shouldn't do it anyway, you have to know that the old man's bones are very fragile, and if you push and fall, who can guarantee that the old man won't break?

When Lao Zhang heard this, he felt that what this little girl said was right, so he waved his hand, "Okay, even if you are right, then as long as you ask him not to come to the cafeteria again, I will not do anything to him." ”

Chen Xiaobai nodded, Lao Zhang went back to the window, and the cafeteria aunt watched from the side and didn't say anything more, just stared at the old beggar with disgust.

Chen Xiaobai couldn't help sighing, turned around and took out a dime and a two-tael food stamp that had been replaced and handed it to the aunt, "Auntie, five more meat buns." ”

The cafeteria aunt was stunned, but she quickly came back to her senses, collected the money and food stamps, and neatly packed five large meat buns for Chen Xiaobai.

Chen Xiaobai held the steamed buns and buns in one hand, and helped the old beggar to walk to the corner of the canteen where there was no one.

At this moment, she did not dislike the old beggar at all, who was in tatters and smelled terrible, but carefully helped the old beggar, who was almost unstable on his feet, to an empty seat and sat down.

Then he stuffed all the five meat buns in his arms into the old beggar's arms, "Here, eat." ”

The old beggar trembled and held the bun for a long time, and his cloudy eyes flashed with crystals, leaving two lines of muddy tears in an instant.

"Girl...... Thank you......" He actually politely said thank you before starting to eat.

Chen Xiaobai didn't leave, just stood quietly aside, until the old beggar slowly finished eating the two buns, and his body regained a little strength, and his body was no longer trembling, and she gradually breathed a sigh of relief in her heart.

The remaining three buns, the old man was not willing to eat them all, but solemnly received them in his arms, and then he didn't know where to find a black kettle that could not be seen material, drank two sips of water, and then wiped his mouth.
